Strong Statements

Michael Andrews, a former set dresser, opened his LA store, Inheritance, in 2009. Housed inside a crumbling 1920s loft, it’s an ever-evolving mix of vintage masculine furniture, delicate fine china, and curiosities with history, with a focus on the beauty and character that come with age and decay. Eclectically mixed and layered, the store conjures the spirit of European antiques stores and markets, and reflects its owner’s flair for the dramatic and the dynamic. “Never let the eye rest,” he says. “Always try to have it land on something interesting.”
